    Student Section Changes

    I don't suppose the fact that we only made two 3-point baskets in the first 37 minutes of the game would have anything to do with that. Hey, nobody's stopping you from going to town on that '3' sign- wave that sucker and SCREAM ALL. GAME. LONG! But seriously, people like you that come in and...

    Wine

    Normally, I would agree. That's how I learned (and am still learning) beer. However, this is for a class- I do need to pick up the little differences. In fact, I will need to be able to try a wine and not only determine what grape it is made from, but also where that grape was grown, when it was...

    Wine

    I'm taking HRI 383 - Wine, Beer, and Spirits. It's primarily a wine course. I'm learning a lot, but it's really an uphill battle; it's tough for me to quantify differences between wines, and to describe them the way we're intended. I generally like sweet or moderate whites, but while in Spain...

    How much does a gyro cost in Ames?

    They are indeed $4.50. Superdogs are $4.

    "Pink Games"

    The shoes, uniforms, and warmups were 100% donations from Nike, and will be auctioned off to charity. The Cyclone Alley t-shirts are paid for by Cyclone Alley. The 3-point signs are typically paid for by a local business; today I assume they were paid for by Athletics, since there's no business...

    4 Players Watching Intramural Games at Beyer

    There is a People's on Court Avenue in Des Moines (typically called 'People's Court'). It is probably the top concert bar in the state, in terms of volume and quality of acts they attract.

    Project 20/20

    Yeah, two ISU students bought it and renovated the place; one of them is a friend of mine. The guy that used to own the Bali (can't remember his name; nice old guy) didn't want to run a business anymore, but didn't want to sell the place to just anyone. They totally redid the bar area, but...

    FAC

    It used to rock... until all my friends who were interested in it graduated and moved away. I'm trying to gather up a new group, but it's pretty much a bust. One guy is married and one guy might as well be, so if the ladies don't want to go, then nobody goes. I'm not a fan of going to the bars...

    Greek Getaway-Frats

    Speaking as a VERY staunch anti-greek, if you're going to look at a fraternity, please check out Farmhouse. I've been at ISU for five years now, and Farmhouse has consistently been the only house that I have any respect for. By and large, they're a solid group of guys, do well in the various...

    ***WBB Texas Tech @ Iowa State***

    Folks- in a meeting at the MU. How much time left in halftime? Also, any chance you could post remaining time with score updates? I'd appreciate it.

    ***OFFICIAL PRESS CONFERENCE RELAY***

    Believe it or not, online classes tend to be much more difficult than traditional ones. The level of personal discipline needed in order to do well is MUCH higher for an online class, and the availability and usability of resources is significantly less. Trust me, I've been there multiple times.

    Cute cheerleader on Cyclones.com

    After reading the last 4 pages, I feel like I spun through some vortex into some bizarre alternate universe. What a weird thread. The fail is transdimensional, and is affecting humanity's past AND future.

    got my acceptance letter from Iowa State yesterday, housing suggestions?

    Yeah, they axed Fresh Start about two weeks before classes began in Fall 2005, my freshman semester. It was a terrible program that hadn't turned out the way the Dean of Students intended. Incidentally, that's why we're just now getting out of the absolute glut of CAs in the DoR system- when...

    Spring Break

    I have never been outside of Iowa for spring break in my entire life. In fact, the last four years, I've spent most or all of break sitting in Friley Hall. I've never been able to find anyone who wants to go somewhere else, much less somewhere warm. I'm doing my best to push to friends into...

    Name a good bar to go to

    RTFT, folks. Seriously. I'd like to recommend Olde Main Brewery on Wednesday nights. $1 pints of their beers, and a pretty great social scene. Their pub side always has a ton of people sitting around who are very receptive to meeting strangers. The restaurant side is usually either packed with...

    got my acceptance letter from Iowa State yesterday, housing suggestions?

    Then you probably should have submitted a maintenance request. They would have fixed that inside of 24 hours, no ifs ands or buts. No excuses there. If Friley was your first choice, yeah, you probably won't get it. It's everyone's first choice. Friley fills up before any other building, and...

    Missing Student -- ISU ALERT

    Literally the instant that I got the ISU Alert saying Lacina was missing, this was the first thing to pop into my head. I really, really hope it's not them.

    Missing Student -- ISU ALERT

    The police have moved from searching for him to investigating his disappearance. Not a good sign... :sad: Police shift strategy to find missing ISU student

    Missing Student -- ISU ALERT

    The text went out at 7:12pm. The voicemail went out at 7:17. I already deleted the email, but I think it went out first. Remember, ISU Alert sends out communication in prioritized waves based on the situation. It's impossible to send out every email and every text and every phone call...

    Missing Student -- ISU ALERT

    Like someone else said, Buchanan isn't all singles, but there are quite a few there. The bigger thing is that it's a very quiet building; there is almost no social interaction among residents when you compare it to the lower-division halls. He's a senior in graphic design- he was probably...
